Hosts can decide to accept or reject the request on the spot. It also allows hosts to initiate and respond to client messages from the Watch. Hosts are also allowed to save quick, pre-recorded responses to help maintain what Airbnb calls a healthy response rate.

Twitter crowds your mobile timeline further with ‘who to follow’ list

You may or may not have gotten used to seeing more items on your main timeline on Twitter mobile. Now, you’re going to have to get used to more as Twitter adds a “Who to follow” feature on both iPhone and Android. Much like the “While you were away” feature, it shows you a list of people Twitter thinks you should be following—including “promoted accounts” a.k.a. brands. If by chance Twitter recommends a person to you who has passed already, they encourage you to contact their support team. And just like the “While you were away” feature, you can also just take this thing out by tapping on the X symbol.
